For our Winter 2024 edition, our 114th issue, it’s the second
instalment in this exciting new chapter for Hunter & Coastal
Lifestyle Magazine. With this rejuvenation, we are thrilled to
introduce several new editorial features that seamlessly blend
fashion, health, and wellness, alongside our desire for local
short stays.

In this Spring 2024 edition, number 115, we take you on an exciting journey through our vibrant region. One highlight is the feature on Hudson House, a mid-century architectural gem right in our backyard of New Lambton Heights. Designed by the renowned architects Lees and Valentine and built by Master Builder Bill Hudson in 1961, this story begins on page 46 and promises to be an inspiring read.

As the season shifts, with days becoming shorter and slightly cooler, embracing change and finding comfort in the familiar, along with excitement for the next chapter ahead, are things that instantly spring to mind.

For our Autumn 2024 edition, edition number 113, it’s the
first in a new chapter for Hunter & Coastal Lifestyle Magazine.

There is so much to look forward to within this edition. The architectural marvel of a modern farmhouse in Anna Bay, flooded with natural light and framed by the Australian bush. The eagerly awaited revival of Newcastle’s iconic Victoria Theatre. Farm life at Goonoo Goonoo Station, just a short drive from Newcastle. The rising influence of women in the Hunter Valley wine industry, the cosy elegance of chocolate-coloured furnishings, and so much more.

We were enjoying a much delayed Christmas team lunch at Newcastle’s Signal Box in mid March, happy and proud of what we had achieved together. The vibe was optimistic, we were swapping ideas for new stories and Ken Rubeli had us in stitches with his observations about life in general. Little did we know that within hours the first COVID-19 driven restrictions would begin to transform life as we knew it.
Like most small businesses, we had to play things by ear. We cancelled our events section and debated extensively whether we should run restaurant reviews or travel destinations in New South Wales. In the end, optimism prevailed: as we are going to print, restrictions are being eased, and restaurants are about to re-open. In any case, what’s wrong with some culinary or travel highlights to look forward to? 
Our advertising partners had their businesses thrown into limbo too. Hence this edition has fewer pages than usual but please be assured that you are getting your full quota of fascinating local stories.
This current crisis has yet again brought out the best in our resilient community: Newy Burger Co have launched much needed kindness boxes (p. 110), a camp oven cook-off challenge between separately self-isolating Peter and Jack Lorimer went viral on Facebook and 
turned into a gourmet bonanza with hundreds joining in from their backyards (p. 70), and skipper Frank Future is inviting you on a virtual whale watching cruise 
(p. 100). 
Still, we can’t wait to get back out into our wonderful community and reconnect with friends, family and of course you, our readers, without a screen between us.
Stay safe, Cornelia and Julie
